Nissan Americas has paired up with City Ventures to build homes that are ready to support the electric LEAF. 190 townhomes in Southern California currently being built will be pre-wired with electric vehicle charging stations. California’s leading builder of affordable, eco-friendly homes, City Ventures, and will result in the largest residential, electric vehicle pre-wiring project in the United States.
“Nissan applauds City Ventures’ vision and leadership to create a unique solution on such a large scale,” said Brendan Jones, Nissan’s director of Electric Vehicle Marketing and Sales Strategy. Being able to support a level 2, 240v/40 amp charging dock, the houses will be able to charge a LEAF just like Nissan would like to.
Herb Gardner, City Ventures’ President of Homebuilding said, “City Ventures’ goal is to provide the most advanced and cost-effective solutions to buying a green home, including offering affordable solar-powered and all-electric homes.” At the moment, three locations in Southern California are set to get LEAF treatment. Signal Hill, Santa Barbara and Alhambra will be receiving parking spaces with charging ports.
